In Gormenghast Castle, the ambitious former kitchen boy Steerpike rises toward domination of the castle and its aristocratic inhabitants.
Across three acts set in the same cave—from the Neolithic period through medieval times to a near future—a family encounters a young girl who challenges its beliefs. The play connects persecution of dissenters with the role of imagination and art, as a boy who becomes an artist and a brother drawn to invention respond differently to authority and social conformity.
